INCLOSURI s
In the following claim, a motor vehicle owned by Metro-
politan Transit Agency of Dade County, Florida was involved in
an accident with a motor vehicle owned by the City of Miami,
This claim is in the area of doubtful liability.
City of Miami vs. Metropolitan Dade County Transit Authority
This accident took place on February 14, 1975 on Northwest
35th Street near its intersection with Northwest 17th Avenue, in
the City of Miami,
Damages to the City vehicle amounted to $55.00.
In this case the City vehicle attempted a right turn from
the middle lane when the bus in question was in the right lane
attempting to leave the bus stop area.
Metro has offered to pay 50% of damages sustained by the
City vehicle in the amount of $27.50 in full and complete settle-
ment of the City's claim.
Based on recommendation of Mr. Santana of this office, as
well as consideration of the doubtful legal aspect of this case,
I recommend that the above offer be accepted in full settlement
of this property damage claim.
